All 3 of these were great. The guides were particularly good and in this case really made the trip a pleasure. Overall a great trip. Thanks for all you did."

"We just returned from our thailand/cambodia trip. It was fantastic. You did a great job. The guides were excellent as was the drivers. We loved the Victoria Hotel you selected in Siem. Wish we had more time. Thailand met our expectations but our expectations for Cambodia were low and they exceeded them. Loved the places selected for the included lunches. Certainly would use Kensington again"

"Thank you for arranging our guided trip to Thailand - Vietnam. It was a memorable, and pleasant trip - a 1st for us with Kensington tours and a most enjoyable one. We found that we were able to maximize our visit of the the area without the concern of booking hotels, airline, finding parking and understanding the local language. "

"Alexis helped us fit in all of the sites we wanted to see on our trip to Thailand and Cambodia, and suggested some more. It was valuable talking with someone who had been there and done that. The planning went pretty smoothly, and so did the trip. The local guides were all top-notch! "

"I highly recommend Kesington Tours. The planning of our trip to Cambodia was outstanding. Our advisor Alexis Mayer was unbelievably patient, knowledgeable and responsive. We planned the trip in every possible detail and Alexis was extraordinary during the whole process. Once we were in Cambodia, we had a tiny issue with the car. I was able to get in contact with Alexis right away and the problem was instantly solved. The trip itself was fantastic. Everything was very well planned and perfectly organized. The local guides and drivers were great. The hotels were very well chosen.
Great trip. I would definitely travel again with Kensington Tours."

"We have just returned from our trip to Malaysia and wanted you to know how much we enjoyed the itinerary you put together for us. Our guides were personable and very knowledgeable about the various places we visited. We were amazed by the sights, sounds and friendliness of the people we encountered. Needless to say, it was a most memorable trip and one of the
highlights of our traveling careers!

i was dong a restore using itunes because my phone has been playing up, then i get error 6 msg. my iphone screen turns white then off now i cant turn it back on please help
it was unlocked US phone to any sim
thanks folks:(
what firmware is your phone on? If you want help you have to give as much details as you can.
my firmware was 1.0.2 and i was trying to restore to this (iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore)
Did you try putting your phone on recovery mode by pressing the home button and sleep/wake button until you get a yellow triangle and try to restore? If not do it then connect to iTunes
yes the yellow triangle was up telling me to connect to itunes i placed it in the dock waited for itunes to open clicked ok then pressed shift key and clicked restore, then clicked the restore point (iPhone1,1_1.0.2_1C28_Restore) it started going througth the process then gave me the error msg 6. then the screen on my iphone went white then turned off now nothing, when i first put it back in the dock windows would pop up saying unknown device but it doesnt do that now (half hour later)
If you haven't done so restart your computer. I ran into this problem many times and restarting the computer should work. Restart and try again.
I think I misunderstood......you cant put your phone in recovery mode anymore?
nope it wont do nothing, i have restarted the computer and i have a usb mass storage device connected in the safely remove hardware icon on the bottom right ( im assuming this is my iphone as i do not have such a item)
My iPhone was in 'brick mode' and I was able to fix it.
I just purchased a new 1.0.2 iPhone from an Apple store just prior to Christmas. (I was surprised to get a 1.0.2 one). I managed to jailbreak and activate while in the USA but waited until I got back to Australia to unlock it since I didn't have my Vodafone SIM with me. When I unlocked it with anySIM 1.2 the unlock worked but my WIFI stopped working and GPRS/EDGE wouldn't work.
I decided to restore 1.1.1 but I may have stuffed it up because I did not reverse the unlock first. I got an error on the PC (cannot remember what it was sorry) and my iPhone had a black screen. It would not turn on and would not enter recovery mode...it did absolutely nothing and I thought that I had broken it.
However, the PC was recognising that an iPhone was connected so I wondered if I had it in a restore mode that had a black screen. I attemped to restore 1.1.1 again but got the same/similar error message on the PC and still had no response from the iPhone. I then tried 1.0.2 and also got an error and no response from the iPhone. All of these attempts to restore were made via iTunes. I then attemped an upgrade to 1.1.2. I also got an error on the PC and still no response from the iPhone.
I then downloaded iDemocracy and located AppTapp Installer from within there. I used AppTapp Installer to attempt to restore to 1.0.2. The restore process failed on the PC but it bought my iPhone out of 'brick mode'.
I then discovered that my iPhone had 1.1.2 on it so eventhough iTunes had said that it had failed it really had managed to get 1.1.2 onto my iPhone, it just didn't bring it back to life. I was then able to restore 1.1.1, jailbreak and activate, downgrade the baseband, I am not sure if I then restored 1.1.1 again or not. Then I was able to use jailbreakme to jailbreak, activate and then I unlocked it again using the same anySIM 1.2 (but before I had installed any other 3rd party apps or played with any settings). I then put in the Vodafone settings, ran the EDGE setting fix...and this time my WIFI and GPRS/EDGE worked.
I have now spent the past week on 1.1.1, not really sure if I have the courage to upgrade to 1.1.2 for fear of something not working.
Anyway, I hope that this helps and that your iPhone can be fixed. Just use AppTapp Installer and attempt to restore 1.0.2.

What should be the basic technique to approach complex study materials?
Moreover, how to remember study materials which contain lots of mathematical equations or calculations?
What should be the basic technique to approach complex study materials?
Moreover, how to remember study materials which contain lots of mathematical equations or calculations?
I came from an engineering background and moved into comp science and I found Information Theory quite easy and interesting.
It was not so much that I was more talented than everyone else, but because it used mathematics that I was already familiar with at the time. I had a natural 'feel' for information theory because I knew how it functioned.
For mathematics, I find the easiest way is to drill it. Just keep doing math problems. That's why they teach it separately and need it as a requirement. Think of it like your ABCs in school... you had to memorize letters before learning to read and write. Much like learning to read, it will click intuitively after a while.
Memorization of formulas is a poor method, because you will forget it, especially when you are stressed and have little sleep. Drilling it, by repeating and reusing the formulas dozens of times works.
If you have more time and willpower, derive equations. It is a technique used by and taught to elite students because it requires a lot more hard work, but it will quickly deepen your understanding.
You will need to grasp a solid foundation of these principles first before using them in more complex applications. If you don't know half the letters of the alphabet, reading will be a struggle to say the least. Mathematical formulas are much like words, except with one symbol representing a sentence.
If you don't have time to master the basics, print out the notes, and write the formulas as sentences. For example,
and so on. Have this cheat sheet/glossary in your notes somewhere and use it to 'translate' weird mathematical things. That way, you only have to look it up once and not flip through a thick math book every line.
Also, learn how something works as you learn what it does. Almost every good textbook teaches this for good reason. The ones that don't assume you already know how all the components go together. As with math, you can learn how it works a few years after you learn what it is, and there's no real hard guideline to this.
Well, that would change from person to person. Different people learn differently. For me, I need to have a clear understanding of the topic and it's basics or fundamentals to learn it. Good analogues, or real world examples help. Also, applying the knowledge helps. In 11th grade we had programming, and I had coded a bunch of equations from the Physics book - I didn't forget those equations for a long time, without ever having to revise them or memorize them again. Usually I have a very hard time remembering equations, unless I understand the relationship between the variables. Then I can derive the equation on my own without having to memorize it. In fact, one of the most brilliant students I've known, used to derive basic equations on the back of his answer sheet at the beginning of an exam, instead of trying memorizing them. Understand the basics of how things work, and how they are related, things will fall into place themselves.
If you have a feeling that you are studying, revising, trying to memorize and got no effect it can mean you need to change the way. Something what you do, become too much routinized. There can be a flow somewhere and you don't see it.
You can find a friend who does worst than you and offer him/her your help. Set up some meeting with clear goals. For example, today we going through "integration by parts" or some other chunk of the material you study. Try to explain to your friend what you already know and how the expressions work.
Very soon you will find it as a very powerful technique. Your friend will start to ask you questions which point material not well explained. The reason of course is that you not always entirely confident with it. That way you achieve a few things:
After you start working with someone, it will be much easier to work throughout big sections of material and also easier to spot mistakes in each other works.
Good luck with it.
I'm a big fan of Tony Buzan when it comes to studying, have a look at Buzan's Study Skills: Mind Maps, Memory Techniques, Speed Reading and More! for a short and sweet introduction to his approach.
I also recommend Tim Ferriss who breaks down learning into a skill that you can master: How to learn fast and Accelerated learning are both good to read.
It is important not to over do things, try not to spend more than 45 minutes studying something. After that take a break and do something else, best if you can do something totally unrelated. This gives your brain a chance to focus on something else and process the information you've given it. If you can get up and go for a walk, or do some push ups or make some tea and have a quiet 10 minutes.
When you come back to your subject start with some revision of the previous 45 minutes. If you like Tony Buzan's mind maps then that could be a good way to jot down what you remember, making the associations will also help you lock the information into your mind. The more 'hooks' you can hang ideas on the easier remembering becomes.
When the subject is abstract, as in the case of formulas and equations, then it is harder to find mnemonics and the approach of 'making up a funny story' wherein you place your items to remember is less applicable. But if you can make parts of your equation tell a story or relate them to other equations then you begin to build up a mental map of related functions.
Derren Brown has good advice on memorising things as well; a nice summary can be found at How to remember things, how he memorises decks of cards translates nicely to remembering formulas and equations because the subject (playing cards) is also abstract enough that there aren't many places in normal life that we encounter H3, S9 etc.
Lots of links and reading, but I hope some of it helps.
Consider the study by Dale (1969). You will learn more if you write a summary of the stuff yourself, rather than just reading it in a textbook. For best results, you should explain the stuff to others, possibly in a presentation. This also applies to learning stuff with a lot of mathematical notation.

Torrance >Food & Dining > RA Sushi Bar Restaurant
3525 Carson St Ste 161, Torrance, CA | Directions 9050333.833057 -118.348063
Food: 11am-11pm Daily
Bar open until 1am or later
I now know I don't like Sushi! – I'd never had sushi before and my daughter took me here for my birthday. I really didn't like it. why an earth would anyone want to eat raw fish! UGH! My daugter insisted we try a wide variety of weird and wonderful things from the menu. It wasn't for me but she seemed to have a good time.
The restaurant itself seemed nice enough bit I really do not like raw fish.
Yummy sushi – Definitely a must for sushi lovers! Exquisite tasty sushi morsels done creatively...prices are very reasonable for this quality of food..highly recommended!
Best Japanese food!! – Definitely excellent food, helpful staff, everything is absolutely delicious.
nic stuff – Food here is good, just plain good. Now, if you love to drink wine as I do...they have an amazing cabernet sauvignon of wines, I'd say I actually enjoyed that I had to wait to get a table..
the worst service in the history of man kind! – it was my birthday so i called a few friends to join me for sushi, about 8 friends, for happy hour. still waiting for one person to arrive, I was told that my party would not be seated till everyone had arrived. I work in the resturaunt biz, I know why it' like that, but when your resturaunt is practically empty because it is 4 in the afternoon, then seat your f*ing guests,. first of all. then when we got our table we waited about 10 min to get our drink order in than another 20 to get drinks, only one was alcoholic. WTF!!! it's not like it was busy! maybe she didn't care since gratuity was added to the bill at the end of the night. as the crowd grew the service got worse. It took 30-40 min for food. we harldy saw our waitress. the one star is for my phone not getting stollen as I left it there by accident. I will never go there again!!! I had seen reviews about the bad service and ignored them but believe me, it's not worth it.. I'm not sure if it is one server or if that bad serving is part of their ambiance. Either way good food won't bring me back, since by the time I get it, maggots could be hatching since the F-staff doesn't care. tip are earned not a right. go F yourself RA!!!
Great food and atmosphere! – We go here often, happy hour is definitely the way to go. The sushi is awesome, the servers are friendly and accommodating. Happy hour offers $1 sake!!
loved the happy hour! – I have been once but had a great experience and our bill was low...we purposely went for the happy hour. I would like to go next Sunday with some friends but it looks like they do not have a happy hour on Sundays. I will definitely be going again sometime soon!
TERRIBLE Service! – It's a shame that the service here is so bad, because the sushi and starters are so good. I have eaten here when it's busy and when it's not, and the service is always extremely slow. You have to constantly wave down the servers. I actually had to wait 20 minutes for my bill on a recent visit. I personally won't be back any time soon. I'll just have to find another sushi spot.
Great place to hang out with friends, but not dine. – The restaurant itself is lively and picturesque, but the food is below average. I've been to many sushi restaurants all through-out California, but Ra did not strike me as anything amazing. To be honest, I've been to buffets that serve better sushi than Ra. I've heard of getting what you pay for in terms of food, but here you will not see that rule applicable. You will get a rich and divine atmosphere, but the quality of food is very poor (pieces will fall apart as you try to eat them; the sushi's shape is rectangular and barely holding shape due to lack of structural integrity, the flavor escapes you and all you can taste is the unflavored rice.
I will not return to this place, even if I am invited by friends.
Sushi restaurant and lounge features Asian fusion dishes and sleek, club-like decor. – In Short
Washed in red by overhead lamps and stained woods, the sleek décor bears a hip Asian feel. Expect an Asian fusion menu and artful sushi, including specialty rolls like the Tootsy Maki, Lone Star Roll and lotus-root-topped Viva Las Vegas. Enjoy a specialty cocktail or happy hour in the lounge.

A word from Grotta Azzurra
Founded in 1908 by the Davino family Grotta Azzurra was named for the blue grotto on the isle of Capri and designed to evoke the beauty of one of the worlds most famous caves in the world, intensified.
Enrico Caruso feasted here after performances, and Sinatra called it his one and only
favorite Italian restaurant, making it the site of many a "Rat Pack" evening.
Shuttered for six years, Grotta Azzurra has now been stunningly renovated and rebirthed by a descendant renaissance for dining in Little Italy, with multi-talented chef Frank Castellana recreating the finest in Italian Cuisine.

Diner Reviews
Really enjoyed dinner there. Small
authentic feel, with great food. Menu with wide array of authentic Italian options and a pretty good wine list. Pasta was also great. Can't go wrong for a nice Little Italy dinner and casual atmosphere. "
Dined on 4/19/2014
The restaurant is great - located
in a corner and you have the option for outdoor or indoor dining. The food was good but the olive oil had a weird flavor to it. The portions were generous and waitstaff very attentive and friendly. I would go again and this time bring my friends!"
Dined on 4/12/2014
Good place. Nice atmosphere, Good
food and service. Would recommend to anyone for a nice dinner."
Dined on 1/4/2014
Decent restaurant, wasn't too
impressed though. I liked my dish but it was just chicken...you can't really mess up chicken. The other people in my party didn't care for their dishes. The service was a little slow even though it wasn't really busy at all, and we had to ask for the bread for the table, which is usually brought out with the waters when you first sit down. I didn't appreciate that gratuity was included for a party of 3; I feel it was a little high given the slow/lacking service. Also, we divided the bill (writing the cards and amounts on the back of the receipt) and the waiter charged the wrong amounts. The food wasn't delicious enough to overlook the lacking service."

Great place to experience Little
Italy. Huge portions, authentic Italian and a great atmosphere!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
Used to go here when it was a
basement restaurant around the corner. Now it's street level. Same old fashioned red sauce favorites, huge portions, decent wine. If I want a dinner like "mamma used to make", I'll come here."
Dined on 2/19/2014
The food and everything about the
place was excellent !"
Dined on 2/18/2014
first thing about this place i
liked was the ambience but they are too money hungry. There is a guy that goes around with a camera and take people picture and they have overpriced drinks and charge u for bread."
Dined on 2/17/2014
Our server was fantastic. Answered
every question we had and made fantastic recommendations. The food was amazing and the perfect size. The only complaint we had was that the gratuity was already added to our check for only 2 people. We ended up adding extra $ on to the tip because our server was awesome - but it still would have been nice for the restaurant to make you aware before you read your check."
Dined on 2/15/2014
The food is great and tasty but
make sure u coming hungry it is filling and not expensive at all"
Dined on 2/14/2014
The food was great and the staff
was very friendly and polite. However, I was under the assumption that it would be a more dressy crowd, since this was my anniversary dinner, but people were dressed in jeans and texting and being really loud. And they were all foreign tourists, which sometimes can ruin the mood. But obviously, you can't help that I guess, being in NYC. I think they all wanted to get away from the Olympics in their home country in Russia."
Dined on 2/9/2014
Starting with the stale bread and
ending with dessert. In a plastic cup, the food and service was extremely dissapointing. Then they added a 20% tip to the bill on a table for two people. Bottom line- stay away- your entertainment dollars would be better spent eleswhere."
Dined on 1/31/2014
A friend recommended this spot -
she said the noodles with vodka sauce was amazing - it was good... but not necessarily out-of-this-world. Observed a man taking polaroids of tables and I overheard one table say, "I cannot believe he wants $9 for this terrible picture..." - so that definitely made me think less highly of the establishment - kind of cheesy! If you need a decent Italian place to eat late at night in Little Italy, the Grotto will take care of you, but won't leave you hoping to return soon."
Dined on 1/18/2014
Good standard southern Italian
fare in the heart of Little Italy. We have eaten there many times over decades bit this was first time in some years. The old downstairs "Grotta" is now closed - used we were told for private parties. The wine list is laminated - a bad sign since it means unchanging availability although a relatively pricey listed 2007 Barolo was delivered as a 2009 and not mentioned by the waiter. However, the standards ARE good with ample portions. Lobster Fra diavolo was excellent and provided next day spaghetti dinner. Go to Ferrara's on Grand Street for dessert."
Dined on 1/2/2014
Pretty good standard Italian fair.
They sat us immediately (we arrived early for our reservation). And initial service was good; but then after the salad we heard nothing for some time and then the waiter finally showed up and apologized for our dinner being late. For a party of 4 I was surprised they added a 20% tip....based on this service it was not going to be that high."
Dined on 12/28/2013
Very nice authentic Italian
restaurant. Food tastes like in Italy, no overcooked pasta. We really enjoyed our stay."
Dined on 12/26/2013
It has been 20 years since I had
eaten here. Completely changed. Service was lack luster and the food was mall food court at best. Plus they added an 18 percent gratuity for a party of 3. Won't be back!!"
Dined on 12/24/2013
Pleasant restaurant- friendly
staff-good but not exceptional food"
Dined on 12/14/2013
Great food and service in the
heart of little Italy"
Dined on 12/9/2013
The restaurant is nice looking.
The service was good. The food was good and the wine list was adequate. All in all, a great neighborhood spot."
Dined on 12/6/2013
I have been to many little Italy
restaurants and grew up in an Italian family. The food here was okay, but nothing special. The waiter basically tricked us into ordering not so great garlic bread. I ordered the eggplant parm and my friend got simply the baked ziti. Again, it was okay but nothing special. Literally just eggplant with cheese and sauce on a plate with no side of pasta or veggie."
Dined on 12/7/2013
We go to this restaurant once a
year and it is always a pleasure."
Dined on 11/30/2013
I've been here a couple years ago
for dinner and the food this time was as good as the first! Service was excellent - very friendly and courteous."
Dined on 11/30/2013
I was delighted to see three
special options for Thanksgiving Dinner besides the regular menu. The food was very good in terms of portions, quality and flavor. The service was outstanding. I had the opportunity to read some reviews prior to my reservation and I can confirm know that the restaurant is one to recommend not just to my friends but to the public in general. Thank you very much."
Dined on 11/28/2013
I took my family out for our first
Thanksgiving dinner in a restaurant. We all decided to break tradition and not order the turkey dinner special, instead we order our favorite italian dishes. Every one was very happy and satisfied with their meals, we tried each other's dishes and more importantly we were able to enjoy each other's conversations in a normal voice because of the low noise levels. The service was very friendly and attentive. Every one wants to return soon and enjoy the experience again and again."
Dined on 11/28/2013
Table service was great . Wait
staff was terrific.we liked having a water carafe on the table during dinner. The sangria was amazing. The food looked good but did not taste good . Chicken parm and marsala was very overcooked and difficult to cut with a hard knife. Seating was small and very overcrowded. We were at a table for 2 sandwiched between a table for 5 and 2 on either side. There was no special feeling or romance. We had plenty if time to get to our show since we didn't feel comfortable to stay long. The biggest dissatisfier was the food , the ambiance and the guy taking pictures. He presented us with a Polaroid picture that he told us we had to pay $9 for even though we didn't like it."
Dined on 11/23/2013
My family and I went here for
dinner this past weekend and I was pretty unimpressed with everything. The caesar salad was drenched in dressing, the shrimp dish that my father ordered was heavy and soaking with butter, and the lasagna I ordered was just okay. The ambiance was nice and the servers were friendly, but I wouldn't go here again as it was pretty much your standard Little Italy restaurant."
Dined on 11/16/2013
We came to NYC for a small wedding
and neither bride or any of the guests were from NYC. They were extremely helpful and moved our reservation back when we were running late and ensured we had a corner table for some privacy as requested. We brought a cake from Caffe Roma across the street and they kept it in the cooler and served it at the end of the meal. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent!"
Dined on 10/12/2013
We were seated immediately upon
arriving, but from that point on everything else was mediocre at best. Very surprising since as a child my parents took us there once a year for a special outing to NYC. The service was essentially non-existent, the food taste was bland, and the presentation was unappealing. They even included a 20% gratuity on the check. Is that some relatively new NYC restaurant policy? Don't know! I'm not sure if it's under the same ownership from years ago, but either way they've lost me as a future customer."
Dined on 10/12/2013
Great food, great bargin, Even
though they add a mandatory 20% tip service is still very attentive. 2 course lunch a steal. Only complaint is the bread, seemed store bought or day old."
Dined on 10/11/2013
I used to frequent Grotta Azzura
in the early 80's and always enjoyed the basement experience. I had very fond memories of many family dinners there. Last weekend, my Italian American friend was hankering for a chicken parm dinner on a Sunday nite with my wife and me. As we live in the neighborood, I suggested GA as a convenient place to satisfy her request. My wife and I joined her and sat outside on a nice Sunday evening. We ordered two linguini and white clams and one chicken catchetori. Chewy and salty. The chicken was all white meat with little to no evidence of veggies. No one finished our meals. GA TACKS ON A 20% SERVICE CHARGE. Not disclosed. Unconscionable. I apologize for all New Yorkers. Your choice. I'm a foodie. Not GA."
Dined on 9/8/2013
Ok restaurant in Little Italy. The
food was good,but not outstanding and not worth the trip to return unless I was going to be in the area for another reason. Also, because we made a reservation, they wanted us to eat inside, so I felt penalized for making the reservation."

Research: Financial insecurity in the modern workforce
Produced together with Cass Business School, we compared today's UK workforce with 30 years ago and asked 'have employee benefits kept pace'?
The research shows that today's workforce includes twice as many older workers and 12% more women than it did 30 years ago. It also shows that employer-provided benefits are not keeping pace with the workforce's changing needs and as a result, today's workforce is less financially secure than it was 30 years ago.

Struggling to review your employee benefits package? The Benefit Balancer tool can help. It's an easy way to explore what may be possible and it'll also give you indicative costs.
You may think it's all about the salary, but employee benefits can typically add 20-40% of your salary to your package. We can help you find out how much yours are worth.

Food & Entertaining
memories of family entertaining
Graciepj asked a question that made me think this might be a good question for discussion.
We had a big family and not much money so we did not entertain. However once we had a summer party in the back yard. They put beer bottles in the cellar set tubs with blocks of ice. (the ice man still came in those days.)
I had an aunt who was a nun and she was visiting us and she drank beer, which to me was shocking!
I got to wear my black mary janes and my pink and white striped pinafore.
This is the only party I remember till we got older and started to have parties ourselves. We do have some pretty funny old movies where everyone is squinting at the bright lights. One esp on New Years eve where everyone is getting tanked and pretty silly. But oh, my weren't we slim and dressed up in those days. . . just like Christmas when we wore heels and nice dresses!
My mom had a large family with lots of sisters. One of my oldest cousins was blind. He was just a few years younger that the youngest of my mothers sisters. He was an outstanding guy, graduated top of his class at a school in Virginia, comparable to the ivy leagues in that particular major. Jeeper's I should just say University of Virginia. Now my cousins will know who I am if they're on this site.
Anyway, a large number of us got into an ice fight in my mother's kitchen. I was just a kid and I loved the fact that the adults were acting like kids. They were putting ice cubes down each others shirts, shorts. etc. My blind cousin was doing just as well at it as anyone.
Oh Well, large families have tons of fun.
I had an uncle that would use a movie camera with those bright, bright lights at Christmas and his children's birthday parties. I had forgotten about that. I must have been about six. I wonder what happened to those films.
I grew up in a rural farming community. G&G lived on Main Street in town, their 4 children & spouses on farms, none more than 5 miles away.
We gathered one Sunday a month, closest to one of the 14 grandchildren's birthday or on holidays (E, MD, FD, 4th, T & C) rotating amongst my G&G, parents, aunts homes. My uncle's wife never opened her home!
Hostess prepared meat and potatoes, all aunts brought salads & side dishes, Gma baked rolls and we had decorated birthday cakes from a lady who did them in her home along with homemade ice cream we made at party.
All dads went home to do livestock chores about 4pm and came back to the party for a light supper of leftover meat on Gma's homemade sandwich buns, potato salad, baked beans, chips and some strange concoction of a Koolaid punch with kolaches (yes, Gma made these also) for dessert.
We cousins played outside in the playhouses or built forts in the groves, on the swingset, at mud pie table by the sandbox, recess games, rode bikes. ponies or took a cart ride, went to the park or pool, got motorcycle rides from our older cousins or a convertable ride from another cousin's boyfriend during warm weather months.
In the winter we played table games or cards, elevator with the pocket doors, post office with the clothes chutes, hide & go seek, dress up or with toys or jumped on the trampoline in the house. During the fall we'd bury ourselves in the leaves (which was great for me because we only had pine trees at our farm.) If there was enough snow my uncle would take us for a sleigh ride or we'd build forts & snowmen or play some trail game with footprints (what was that called?)
When we were at one aunt's home they had a dairy so my uncle would let us help him milk (by hand.)
At the farms, there usually were kittens and sometimes puppies besides.
I'm not that old, but I sure do regret that my children were robbed by a drastically changed economy in the 1970s to have these opportunities.
My folks still live on the farm but of course no livestock chores exist. The kids did get the farm tractor & combine rides however.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Lurah,
Most entertaining was family -- on holidays but my mother did have "the ladies" over once a year for a luncheon (her turn) and occassionally, they would have friends over for dinner (at which times we were banned to upstairs!).
That was when we lived in the big house in an older section of town.
Then we moved to a small ranch house in the suburbs, my Dad got sick and we only had my grandmother, aunt and uncle over at Christmas. The rest of the time we went to my grandmother's for holidays.
View my blog:
Hello LoS and it is so wonderful seeing you here.Huggs.
This is going to be a great & long thread.LOL.It has to be with the family memories,right?
Great memories of when I was small.My DGM lived with us her whole life.Imagine DGM spoiling us and never spanking or punishing us.We knew if we did something DGM didn't like she would give us a scrubbing in the kitchen sink.Scrub our elbows,knees and feet raw.LOL.We laugh and reminisce about this a lot.She always bought Christmas,Easter and school items.She had us 3 little girls, and wanted us to look girly.So when we played in the garden bare footed &
we made our play house in the fruit trees.She loved it but wanted us clean & pretty.
I usally have all the family special events now.It is getting harder that DM & DF health is worst.They cant travel even 6 miles to hang out.So we drop-in there.
My BEST memories are with 1st DH family.I disliked leaving them,when we divorced.They are a very close and loving family.Every week sometimes 2 x's,all kids & familys or dates and grandparents and their siblings hung out.We always had grill outs,games and just plain fun with the GGparents.Loved the stories.My DD's have wonderful memories of them.We still talk about those times & laugh.Their GGranny would take us fishing,she taught my DD how to fish when they was toddlers,LOL.She & her sibling all drove til they was in their 90's.
My DH now,his family in NC don't get together much.It seems like the only time they all get together is when we come up for holiday visits,2 x's a year.They all live close by & we live 6 hours away.We have fun,play games,target practice/skeet shoot,travel & spend the night with each one.And yes sometimes just gossip.LOL.Several of his siblings & us go to the beach together every year.
A wonderful memory will be in a few weeks.DH DF is taking us to Disney World.I have never been,so imagine my excitement (even at 45 yrs.old)LOL.DH DF is 70 yrs. and still a big kid and enjoys his time with DH,which is his baby-son.LOL.Then we will come back to NC to vacation at the beach for a week with all the family.I am going to be wore slap out.
I love reading everyone memories.Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.

Michael Whelan to the Circuit Court for Cecil County, and the appointment of Karen Christy Holt Chesser to the St. Mary's County District Court. Judge Alexander will fill a new vacancy on the Circuit Court created by the General Assembly. Mr. Whelan will fill a vacancy created by the retirement of the Honorable Dexter M. Thompson, Jr. Ms. Chesser will fill a vacancy created by the retirement of the Honorable John F. Slade, III.
"I am proud to appoint Jan Alexander, Michael Whelan, and Christy Chesser to serve as trial court judges," said Governor O'Malley. "Each of these candidates has the strong work ethic, dedication to justice, and even temperament necessary to be an excellent judge."
Since 2002, Mr. Alexander has been an Associate Judge for the District Court for Baltimore County. Before his appointment to the District Court, Judge Alexander was a prosecutor for 14 years. While working for the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office, he served on the Sex Offense Task Force, supervised the Central Booking Intake Unit, supervised Felony Trials, and ultimately was the Division Chief of the Misdemeanor Trial Division. Judge Alexander also worked as a litigation associate in private practice, handling cases regarding domestic relations, trusts and estates, contracts, and torts.

I'd like to change the Dura Ace crank on my Wilier to shave some weight while changing the look to carbon fiber arms w/dark chainrings. Unfortunately the Wilier's 37mm BB necessitates a narrow spindle such as those on DA and Campy cranks, so I can't fit THM, Storck, or Lightening cranks due to their 30mm spindles or even Extralite cranks (27mm spindle) as the bearings would be too small and are not made in that size.
Two questions for your expert advice:
Will a Campy SR 11 Ti Ultra Torque Carbon crank work well w/ my DA-based drive train: 7900 derailleurs/shifters, KCNC Ti (Shimano) cassette and KMC X10SL chain?
And, are there other crank options I've not found that have the narrow spindles and carbon fiber arms, etc.?

This Subway Ripped Me Off!!! – I bought the sandwich of the day combo. It is advertised on the window as $2.99. The guy at the counter rang it up for $5.30. When I asked why it cost more the guy explained that there is an extra charge for "toasting the bead." Since I do not speak Spanish I did not expect that I would get much more by way of explanation. I guess I will be going to the Subway down the street for now on...
Sandwich chain offers healthy alternatives for diners on the go. – In Short
Subway's health-conscious menu is built around greaseless deli sandwiches--turkey, chicken, roast beef, etc.--made on soft rolls baked daily in-house. Customers pick white, wheat or a specialty bun, name the length, choose the toppings and watch as the sandwich moves down the assembly line. Wraps, melts, salads and chips by the bag diversify the streamlined menu. And despite the bread factor, Subway boasts numerous successful weight-loss stories and low-carb menu items.
Worst managed Subway I have ever been to – Subway is my favorite fast food joint and I always try to find one for lunch no matter where I am. The El Camino Real Subway in Mountain View, however, has horrible management. I went there for lunch yesterday and ordered a small chicken sandwich on honey oat bread. The man helping me gave me Wheat bread instead, hoping that I wouldn't notice. I decided to let this one slide and proceeded to the cash register so I could get out of there ASAP. There weren't any soda cups on the counter and the cashier had to go into the back room to get one for me. She then charged me for both a small and a large soda even though I had only ordered one small soda. The price seemed more than usual so I asked for a receipt. The cashier had to go get her manager and spent about 3 or 4 minutes figuring out how to print a receipt because their register didn't automatically print one. When I finally received the receipt it clearing showed me being over-charged. I brought it to the lady's attention and she went to go find her manager again.
I showed the manager my receipt and explained that I had been charged for a large soda that I hadn't purchased. She then asked me how much money I had given the cashier (even though it was clearly written on the receipt) and I told her $7.79. She didn't seem to understand and repeated her question. I told her $7.79 again and she said, "No, how much did you give before receiving change." I told her eight dollars even though it was clearly shown on the receipt. She got out her calculator and started punching numbers as the line of people behind me continued to get longer. Finally, she reached into the cash register and pulled out 75 cents. I took the money, looked back at the receipt which showed I had been over-charged $1.49 (the price of a large soda) and showed her that I hadn't been fully reimbursed. She pointed to her calculator to show me the "0.75" on it's screen. I gave up after that... It wasn't worth waisting more time.

Sloppy Joe Under a Bun Recipe
4.36 18
I usually keep a can of sloppy joe sauce in the pantry, because our kids love sloppy joes. But sometimes I don't have buns on hand. With this fun casserole, we can still enjoy the flavor that they love in a flash. The bun-like top crust is made with biscuit mix, sprinkled with sesame seeds and baked until golden. -Trish Bloom, Ray, Michigan
- 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 can (15-1/2 ounces) sloppy joe sauce
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups biscuit/baking mix
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in sloppy joe sauce. Transfer to a lightly greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; sprinkle with cheese.
- In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, eggs and milk just until blended. Pour over cheese; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 8 servings.

This is a simple and tasty recipe that feeds a crowd. I would definitely make it again- it was a real people pleaser!
Reviewed Mar. 4, 2012
The beef part was very good but was overpowered by the too large amount of bread. Next time I'll use less.
Reviewed Nov. 8, 2011
Good concept, turned out perfectly but the taste was a disappointment. Our family isn't the kind that likes everything super hot or spicy but we found this to be very bland. If I wanted to try this again I would have change the seasoning a lot.
Reviewed Dec. 18, 2010
My grandchildren love this recipe. So much so, that I double the ingredients to make a larger batch. I do add extra sauce, the kids love the sloppiness of the dish...

Inventor of the Week Archive
for a different Invention or Inventor
Microwave Scanning Systems
Few Americans have made such a sweeping contribution to the process and business of inventing as Robert Rines, a trailblazer in the realms of invention, education, law, and public policy.
Robert H. Rines was born in 1922 in Boston, Massachusetts. He earned a BS in Physics from MIT, where he was a star pupil of MIT's then new Radiation Laboratory. During World War II, Rines joined the US Army Signal Corps as an expert in high resolution image-scanning radar; there, the modulations technique he invented were essential in building the Army's top-secret Microwave Early Warning System.
When the War was over, Rines earned a law degree from Georgetown University (1946). While in law school, Rines worked as a Patent Examiner for the US Patent Office; after graduating, he became a specialist in patent law, while continuing to invent.
Most of Rines' own patents, which now number more than eighty, are for electronic apparatus that improve the resolution of radar and sonar scanning. For example, the high-definition sonar scanning systems used to locate the wrecks of the Titanic and the Bismarck depended on Rines' prototypes, as do many modern boat and air navigation systems. In the military realm, Rines' high-definition image-scanning radar patents were essential to weapons fire-control and early-warning systems used by the US from World War II through the Persian Gulf War.
Rines is not only an inventor: he is a major supporter of inventors and defender of inventors' rights. In his over fifty years as a patent attorney, he has assisted hundreds of US inventors, as an advocate in litigation and as an advisor in commercial affairs. Rines has helped found a number of companies, many to produce his own inventions. He has also been a member of the Technical Advisory Board of the US Department of Commerce, and he played a major role in revising the patent system of Taiwan (at whose Chiao Tung University he earned a PHD in 1972). At the same time, Rines has been a force in the recent lobbying against Congress' altering the US patent system to make it more like those of European countries.
In 1963, Rines founded the Academy of Applied Science, a New Hampshire - based private, non-profit organization devoted to the promotion of science and technology education at all levels. Since the 1950s, Rines had been a Lecturer in intellectual property at Harvard and MIT; in 1973, he founded the Franklin Pierce Law Center in New Hampshire. Under Rines' aegis FPLC soon became, and has remained, the nation's foremost institute for the study of intellectual property law.
In 1994, Rines was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. In 1997, Rines made a splash in the popular press, when PBS' NOVA series aired a documentary about his two attempts to use advanced scanning technology to hunt the Loch Ness Monster --- the first (in 1975) a collaboration with MIT's Doc Edgerton. The results were no more than tantalizing; but Rines' have been the most scientific efforts yet to solve that mystery.
Today, in addition to teaching at MIT and Franklin Pierce, lawyering, and lobbying, Robert Rines is still inventing. His most recent patent (October 1999), shared with a team from the Academy of Applied Science, was for an internet-based, real-time distance learning system. This was quite fitting, in that MIT had dedicated a distance learning center in Rines' honor in 1997.

Dozens of shoppers were waiting in line Thursday morning for the reopening of the Goodwill store at 2102 S. Range Line Road.
The Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce staged a ribbon-cutting ceremony inside of the store before the doors opened. As has become the new custom, a green ribbon was used. Green ribbons are for reopening stores that were destroyed by the May 22, 2011 tornado. Red ribbons are for new stores to the Joplin market.
David Oliver, regional manager for Goodwill in Tulsa, Okla., said Goodwill was fulfilling a promise to Joplin to come back bigger and better.
The new store was constructed by Four State Homes, of Joplin. Charlie Kuehn, owner of the construction company, said, "We're bringing Joplin back one store at a time.''
While the new store was being reconstructed in Joplin, a temporary store was set up in Carthage. Doug Webster, with Goodwill of Tulsa, said the store in Carthage will continue to operate because of the support that has been shown for it there, assuring local residents that Goodwill will have an expanded presence in the area.

Partitioning is not supported for tables using the
CSV storage engine. Beginning with MySQL
5.1.12, it is no longer possible to create partitioned
CSV tables. (See Bug #19307)
Beginning with MySQL 5.1.23, all tables that you create using the
CSV storage engine must have the NOT
NULL attribute on all columns. However, for backward
compatibility, you can continue to use tables with nullable
columns that were created in previous MySQL releases. (Bug #32050)
